Advanced Mechanical Systems Engineer (Finance)
The Honeywell Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Manufacturing and Design Engineering team specializes in the design and manufacture of Coil Wound Heat Exchangers and other natural gas liquefaction equipment. Our engineering organization designs the equipment, which is fabricated at our manufacturing facility in Port Manatee, FL, as well as at various domestic and international third-party facilities. Our customers utilize this equipment to liquefy extracted natural gas, significantly enhancing its transportability as an energy source for end users worldwide.
The Advanced Mechanical Systems Engineer will be based at our Honeywell LNG Headquarters in Allentown, PA. You will contribute to the LNG Manufacturing and Design Engineering (MDE) - Piping and Structural Design & Engineering (PSDE) team, along with other disciplines within the LNG organization.
The successful candidate will play a key role in the MDE team, responsible for the selection, specification, and technical requisition of mechanical components within Honeywell LNG's proprietary liquefaction systems. This includes the specification and design of plant-sized systems utilizing components such as piping, fittings, valves, insulation, coatings, and specialty in-line items. The candidate will also interpret regulatory and customer specifications, manage supply chain technical aspects, conduct system pressure testing, and address system design breaks.
The incumbent will ensure that all mechanical systems comply with engineering standards, industry standards, safety regulations, project specifications, and company policies.
The position requires occasional domestic and international travel.
RESPONSIBILITIES

• Interface with cross-functional disciplines such as Piping Design, Piping Stress Engineering, Process Controls, Machinery Engineering, Procurement, Process Safety, and Process Systems Engineering during Basic Engineering and Design or on projects from conceptual phase through project execution.
• Develop and/or select specifications for piping, manual valves, control valves, insulation, coatings, and fittings for various fluid services, temperatures, and pressures related to LNG applications, creating new project or application-specific specifications as necessary.
• Maintain the library of Honeywell LNG mechanical component specifications, standards, selection processes, and review procedures, ensuring alignment with other Honeywell businesses, industry standards (ASME, API, EN), and regulatory requirements.
• Review Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) at every stage of a bid or project to ensure safe operation, start-up, shut-down, maintenance, and overall integrity based on material type, temperature, pressure, and service.
• Create pressure test diagrams according to ASME B31.3 Code for Process Piping or similar industry codes.
• Review changes in P&ID process scope and design, updating specified Mechanical System components accordingly.
• Manage technical requisition deliverables for manual valves, control valves, and other in-line piping equipment (such as strainers and other specialty inline components), reviewing vendor proposals and drawings, and qualifying new vendors.
• Calculate required piping thickness based on internal and external pressures.
• Collaborate with Process Engineering and the Startup Team for the selection of control valves for LNG applications.
• Review customer/EPC specifications, industrial standards, and regulatory requirements to align the scope of supply during the project bid phase.
• Participate in safety assessments and ensure adherence to environmental regulations throughout the design phase.
• Occasionally participate in plant visits and international field repair trips.As an Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer here at Honeywell, you will design and develop advanced mechanical systems, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive innovation in mechanical design and product performance. You will report directly to our Engineering Manager and you'll work out of our Allentown, PA location on a Hybrid work schedule.MUST HAVE
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field from an accredited institution; a Master's degree is a plus.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in the Petrochemical or LNG industry with a focus on mechanical systems engineering.
WE VALUE
• Fully conversant with industry codes and standards, including those from ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), API (American Petroleum Institute), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), and the Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings (MSS).
• Ability to read and interpret Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), including piping isometrics.
• Proficiency in mechanical design principles, particularly for cryogenic applications, is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of LNG processes, equipment, and industry best practices.
• Understanding of how mechanical systems integrate with other engineering disciplines, including electrical, instrumentation, and process engineering.
• Experience and knowledge of ASME B31.3 Process Piping code and other relevant industry standards.
• Knowledge of material properties, especially for cryogenic applications, and an understanding of how materials behave under extreme temperatures is essential.
• Familiarity with corrosion resistance and fatigue limits for metals and alloys used in LNG facilities.
• Knowledge of environmental regulations and safety standards specific to the LNG industry.
• Experience in preparing Smart 3D pipe class databases.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Tools.
